The city of Fes is experiencing significant congestion and crowds near several bookstores due to a severe shortage of pre-school textbooks. This scarcity has led to a surge of parents flocking to libraries, prompting security forces to intervene to maintain order and prevent chaos.
A community activist told Fes News that the responsibility lies with the Ministry of National Education, which decided not to distribute textbooks for free this year without coordinating with bookstores to ensure an adequate supply. This decision has placed immense pressure on libraries, with many parents struggling to find the necessary books.
The activist added that this situation highlights a clear mishandling of the educational process, contributing to growing frustration among families who are now forced to either wait or seek alternative solutions.
